Event Volunteers at Art for AIDS!
4pm–10pm

Where to go when you arrive
Pick up you name tag before entering the event space and then join us in Volunteer/Staff Area. Check in to confirm your assignment; stash your stuff; meet your team leader.

Where to stash your stuff
Your personal belongings (bags, jackets, etc.) can be put in the staffing command center, which will be staffed all evening. Please don’t bring valuables.What the jobs are like
Many jobs are out on the auction floor in the middle of all the action. There are also critical “behind the scenes” jobs. All the “behind the scenes” jobs have enough people on their teams so that each person can take some time off to enjoy the event. Please coordinate with your team leader if you wish some time off.What to wear
All black. Wear lightweight clothing. It can get warm in the auction room. Wear really comfortable shoes—you’ll be standing on concrete floors. If you want to see how previous volunteers dressed, look at photos from any of the past events.What to expect
We provide a meal, fruit, cheese, snacks and drinks. The Volunteer space is open to staff and volunteers all evening. The guest food is in short supply, so please stick with food provided for the volunteers.

Suggestions for a great experience at Art for AIDS

If questions emerge, please ask your team leader.

If you need to leave your station, please tell your team leader.

No drinking alcohol while working.

All tips are donations to Alliance Health Project. Please do not accept tips personally.

Most people have TWO jobs (or we’d need 400 volunteers). Your team assignment is to your first, and main job. For example; some people working in the Silent Auction sections will move on to wrapping art when their section closes. Your team leader will help you move on to the second job.

Staff/Volunteer Support: Keep area clean and comfortable for volunteers and staff. Help with job assignments. Refresh food platters.

Registration/Cash Out: guests register, pay and get a catalog; pay for items won, pick up art.

Art Moving Team: As each section closes this team will sweep into the area, remove all sold art from the walls, and take the art to the Art Wrapping Room. They will assist with art wrapping until the next section closes.
